You can create a batch file with the following line net start _serviceName_ and schedule it to run when you want. Replace the serviceName with the name of the service. If you are not sure what the name of the service is you can run net start from the command line to get a list of services. You can also schedule net stop _serviceName_ to stop the service. As an alternative, I wrote a replacement for the Windows Scheduler application, that allows you to write your own .NET assemblies to schedule.

Ajax.NET and Atlas are two frameworks that utilize Ajax technologies. Some of the differences between the two are: Ajax.NET created, built and tested by one individual. Atlas, created by Microsoft. Ajax.NET is very low level, you need to create a lot of JavaScript files to benefit from it which gives you great flexibility. Atlas, has a number of prebuilt "controls" and objects with little to no JavaScript. I have created a presentation on AjaxPro.NET and a users guide at my website.
